A ITEM I SELDOM NOT USE

I know most think safety but i find most just overlook it alot till it to late.I am a huge fan of north safety masks.i forge with mine and almost anything i do i have one on that has hepi filters.i use a half mask ,a full face and one that has the filters over my back further away from contaminants. i have no trouble getting the air i need nor is it uncomfortable to wear .Back at the ABS school in ark i was the only one to wear atleast a common cloth face mask while i was forging using coal.I was the only one not pulling out coal boogers or hacking up coal dust. 99.9% of the items we use in our shop are bad for us.i am going on 71 soon and my lungs are great.there are many brands out there but imh i find "north" the best.
